Ans : The poet says I would not intrude on him because he doesn’t want to interfere in the natural process of learning . He wants the boy to learn the meaning of loss on his own .
He doesn’t offer him money to buy a another ball because that would be worthless . He wants the boy to learn the lesson of responsibility.

2. ………” starting down / All his young days into the harbour Where / His ball went ……” Do you think the boy has had the ball for a long time ? Is it link to the memories of days when he played with it ?

Ans : Yes , the boy has had the ball for a long time . When it bounced into the water , all his memories of the days of childhood flashed in front of him . This lead to a realization that those moments would not come back just like the ball . He can have a new ball and can create new moments but those that are gone would not return.

Ans : “In the world of possession” means that the world is full of materialistic things . The poet suggests that losing the ball , which is very small thing would make the boy understand what it is like to loss something that one possessed.
